Good Friday everyone and welcome to the start of the weekend. I want to begin the blog with a big shoutout to the faculty and students at Wurtland Middle School in Greenup County. The pic above shows how they made a special place for the blog as they print out every new update and put it up for the to read. Very cool!! Looks like a sure fire way to get a school visit from your friendly weather dude. 
Light snow is working across parts of the state early on this Friday as a fast moving clipper swings through here. This will put down light accumulations across central and eastern Kentucky with some areas picking up a quick inch or two. This should be enough to cause some slick travel and you can track the snows here…
The snow will taper off fairly quickly from west to east with only a few afternoon flurries remaining. Here are a few cams for you to check out…
Northern Ky/Covington
Ashland
Lexington
Another fast moving clipper will move across the northern Ohio Valley on Saturday and may throw a snow or rain shower this far south. Winds should pick up during the day and temps will show a wide range from 30s in the north to 40s in the south and west.
Sunday looks like a pretty decent weather day with a mix of sun and clouds and a similar temp gradient setting up.
This will take us into early next week and it looks like February will kick off with another big winter storm that will likely impact our region. The exact impact it will have on our weather remains to be seen… but there will be another big storm coming out of the south and working our way from Tuesday into Wednesday.
One arctic high pressure is likely to be anchored across the northeast with a second high pushing southward into the back of this storm. That will have a big impact on exactly where the storm goes and our overall thermal profile. Snow and ice look to be players during this time with rain a possibility if the low comes far enough north. Again… this is a vastly different setup than our last storm due to the arctic temps that can filter in to this storm.
The European Model has the low to our south and suggests snow…
Man, that is a lot of arctic air moving in!
Other models like the latest run of the GFS have more of an ice look…
Wednesday Morning
Even with the low tracking northward into Tennessee and pushing the 85mp 0c line just to our north… those arctic highs to the north would likely funnel in low level cold air.
If that low were to cut all the way into the Ohio Valley… then it would be rain ending as some snow.
Moral of the story.. there is going to be a storm during a period we highlighted from more than a week away as likely producing a storm. The impact on the actual weather around here won’t be known for several more days as all options are on the table.
I have a busy day and may not be update things until later in the afternoon or early evening. Help us out and post the weather conditions from where you live. Have a great Friday and take care.
Thank you Chris. KUDOS to Wurtland Middle School! Good job!
Snow has been coming down in Harlan for about 15 minutes. We already have a good dusting on the deck. Temp is 33* Looking forward to next week! 🙂 Thanks Chris
Here in Mason Co. we received abot 3 inches of snow over night. The snow is white and fluffy, which makes it a heavy snow to shovel.

3am… I observed rain/snow mix in Harrodsburg about 1:45am and rain only in eastern Boyle County with 36*
My snow turned to rain. Oh well.
Thanks for the update Chris! Can’t wait to see what next weeks storm has in store for us here in SE KY!
Wow! We’ve got a good 2 inches or better here in Ashland! The roads are very slick this morning! Be careful! Thanks Chris for all you do! You are the best “weather dude”!
I’ll sit back and watch everybody blow this next storm out of proportion. After this last one, I know better than to get my hopes up for any big snow around here.
I love snow as much as any of ya. With that being said, these snow days are wreaking havoc on summer break. And as much as I love to watch the snow fall and the clean look of fresh snow, I much prefer the crystal clear waters of my pool. Woodford Co. Schools, according to the local paper, may be considering extending the school day to make up some of this time as we are going until Monday, June 6th at this point. The superintendant even acknowledged there likely are more snow days in our future. He must read the blog. So let it snow every weekend from here on out….Just please melt by Monday morning! Thank you for allowing me to vent!
That goofy hair morning met on WDRB says anybody hyping next weeks storm as a snow event or blizzard is just doing so for viewers. This guy is a piece of work. He is the only met that continuously bashes others. What a douchebag
Nothing but rain in central KY for the clipper (unusual). Just like last southern-fed system, seems rain could be a big player in the next one on Monday too.
Hope CB please considers the fact that not one of these type of events have panned out for a lot folks since 1998 (especially central KY) unless ice.
CB mentioned these are the type of systems that have been his least accurate and it always appears to be the amount of rain in the total mix of the system. Warm air has yet to lose the battle since 98, when central KY is involved.
Again, only ice has panned out for frozen stuff with these systems. My respectful disagreements with the Legend CB, have always been these type of systems.
A Bubba buster would be nice 🙂 As long as not ice 🙁
Were temps expected to remain above freezing last night? Surprised me…I’m usually with it on the weather.
I agree with “so over snow” above. I’m looking at seed catalogs. I want Spring.
that guy is a goof. the morning before our last snow he said ALL RAIN AND NO SNOW, “SO THERE WILL BE SCHOOL!” so the the next day 2-4 inches of snow and no school. he dont know the weather.
Yeah, I’m not too confident that we’ll get anything much if not rain or ice from this next system, especially given the one this week and last night’s clipper, which at my house not only didn’t bring any snow, but when I woke up this morning, the snow that had been on the ground was pretty much all gone. In central Kentucky that just seems to be our lot in life – moderate snows at the very very best or ice… 🙁
Now do the line about 33/32 and my day will be complete.
No blowing this one out of proportion.Nothing but rain.Some of the far northern countys might see a little,next best shot at snow will be Feb.8th.9th,10th.Could be a BuBBa Buster.How do i know this,Wxman told me.
I actually think we get a late season big DADY this year.
one those march STORMS like in 87. heck I remember right it wqs at first of april wasnt it?
hopingg to get another sink hole fixed next couple days so wisah me luck.
So Over Snow, I have a question for you. And to everyone out there I am not trying to stir things up. I am not sure if you are a parent,student or teacher but what is the big deal if school goes into the first part of June.. I am a parent and I talk with other parents that freak out about it and I just don’t get it. I mean we have the rest of June and July and part of August before school starts back. By the beginning of August the kids are crawling the walls out of boredom. Some people say but I planned my vacation. Why? Knowing that there is a chance that we might have make-up days that are clearly marked on the school calendar – why plan it for the first part of June.. The only problem I see with these missed days is the fact that the kids start learning a new unit and then get a day off and have to try and pick up where they left off which can become tedious. So like you Thank you for allowing me to vent…lol
You just said it 🙂
It is what it is.
Not much confidence here either – last night’s clipper not only didn’t bring snow, it melted what was on the ground at my house…
I guess that’s our lot in life in Central Kentucky: moderate snow events, rain or ice – no big snow… 🙁
Yeah, melted all the snow I had at my house – not too confident with the next one either, given this weeks trends… 🙁
Rolo, hope you are feeling well today. I’ve never really talked to you but I have read your post for several years as I have followed this blog. I am praying for you that God will heal you completely. Keep the faith and keep your head up high, sounds like you have alot of support and prayers going up for you. God Bless! Hope your right about that big storm too haha
Don’t fall in Rolo… We need you here for the Tues/Wed system…
Euro = light snow with the bulk of the moisture missing to the south. GFS = cold rain with a light dusting to 1 inch on the wrap around. Shocking huh? Some need to quit hatin on Bubba…he is just playing the odds, and the odds are we miss on big snows.
Would love to see one big snow in south central KY. I am out on the ice. I hate to get my hopes up because it never seems to pan out.
Rolo, I am new to this site but my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am sooo happy you do this blog! Tired of the snow, but happy you put this information out that we might be able to prepare and plan accordingly. So far your forcasts have helped us stay safe in Owingsville. By letting us know what the worst case could be we are always better prepared! However, we like it when we don’t get the worst case:)
LOL! 🙂
If you are a teacher you will still have to work until June 6 regardless of whether the school days are extended. Extended school days only allow students to make up time, not teachers. Teachers have to work a certain number of days.
LMAO.
Everyone has become so hopeless and beaten down after these last couple of disappointments. People barely commenting, probably not following closely or have the strength to even…
Good time for a big storm to come and kick us right in the teeth. 😀 😉
It was the first week of April. Lexington had 5 inches of snow..some places in SE KY more than 2 feet.
If I remember right that one downed many trees/power lines.
That bulletin board is so cool. Some of our instructional assistants at Prichard Elementary in Grayson have a bulletin board with the weather blog updated as the blog is updated throughout the day. Even the Superintendant noticed it and liked it.
I hear ya…Last week at this time, five days before, everyone was a hooting and hallowing about the big storm. Some got it, some did not. Although it does look like rain for much for now I bet the posts are back to the norms come Sat. / Sun. when everyone realizes there just May be a couple chances of significant wintery precip, for our region, over the next week. Have a great weekend will be back Sunday morning….

seem like the pattern we’re in sure would favor a storm running up the west side of the app. mnts…giving a rain event to snow on backside… the last 2 storm systems proved that for se. ky…but anything is possible and unless we really get a push of artic air to push storm track to the south a bit…its very likely east ky & se. ky will more than likely get the same scenario that we just played out…
That is not true.
NO I AM NOT…a meteorologist!!!…but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night….B)….lol…lol…
No I’m NOT a meteorologist…But I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night…LOL…LOL….B)
History of system performance is a part of the regression process for forecasting in any “product” including weather 😉
I politely challenge anybody to name one southern-fed system that has hit central KY with anything but big ice since 1998. Not been big snow since then and is the key reason why we have not got “The Big One”, since those systems are the ones that give us them.
Rolo! Back me up, buddy 🙂
It is. Teachers work on 187 day contracts. Nowhere does it say how long each day is.
my thinking continues to be the low will be to strong and cut into kentucky all of the modeling now coming around to that. this is not a track with snow maybe some ice to start but mainly a cold rain. 00z euro much farther north than 12z that chris showed.
That is true. It didn’t use to be that way, but the last several years that is the way it is. I for one would rather be at school with kids than here without any. As of this writing the students in Jackson County don’t get off until June 8 and we all know it isn’t over yet.
Good to see you on Rolo. I and evidently a ton of others will be praying for you. Still going to give you a good ribbing from time to time, all in fun. Take care Buddy.
Central Kentucky is not know for major snowstorms. There is a difference between central kentucky and central ontario. The weather goes in cycles, sometimes we get in a pattern where we get hit several times like in the 90’s then we’ll go a long time without hits. Central Kentucky has always been the fence for snow/ice/rain since time began. Yes there have been many big snows in the past but it’s all based on the weather pattern we are in. I believe we are in the cycle of the weather pattern where it’s coming back around to us getting southern storms that give us nice snows over the next 5 years. History will repeat itself if we wait long enough, but if you expect major snows every winter you better move north
Gotta love your fan club Bubba. Never no when they’ll show up or what name they’ll use.
my question is what about all the arctic air the models are showing? How far south does that get? We didn’t have arctic air the last time and we still picked up a few inches of snow on the backside of the rain
And it will be a 33 degree rain.
It started on March 30 because I had my youngest that day and the Dr. almost didn’t make it to the hospital.
I’ve noticed the same with the 0z & 6z GFS runs. Both like the idea of a strong low that tracks through EKY. Mostly a cold rain for much of the state, with the possibility of light snow showers on the backside of the system. We can hope for better, but right now, this is the trend.
Rolo,
I don’t know you from Adam but I am praying for you. I have faith in healing powers from above. My 15 yr old son had bone cancer last year and is now 1 yr cancer free thanks to the great Drs at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital ..God speed rolo…
Yes, Euro, Canadian, and GFS all cut the low through the Ohio Valley. This is great news, because yesterday the solutions we saw would result in a massive ice storm here. So a cold rain with snow on the tail end would be much much better. Awaiting 12Z GFS now…
I work in the schools, and while I agree that kids get bored by the end of summer so going a few days in June is now big deal . . .
From experience I’ve seen those days in June are not used very well. Things get crammed in before testing and those extra days look alot like watching movies and playing outside.
Fair perspective, but this area got big snows every decade but the last. Still, in the big scheme of time, 13 years is nothing.
Yep,remember it well,Believe it started on april 2nd.Be and my little sweetie pie just started dating.She thought i was really macho when i took her out in the snow with my jeep CJ7 with the ‘Granny 1st gear”.Man that was one sweet………………JEEP
foiund out who posion my dogs, the guys has altimzers and wasnt trageting my dogs.
he was after a guys pets bulls who killed his dog. so no hard feelings.
oh tx guys for the luv,it shows we are all great people around here. even when aome of us get poissed ofdf at each other i have no doubt if i called any of u to today u be there for me as would I u.
and the the LEGEND words cant decsribe what u mean t me. ok no more sappy talk lewts look at the morning models.
Warm air is the bad guy- not me.
Heck, even the clipper was beat up by warm air. I expected 1″ to 2″ for the area and we got rain. Bubba buster in the WRONG direction.
I agree with Mitch’s post below about next week (as it stands now). Cold rain would be sweet compared to ice. It IS the lesser of the “evils”.
I am a parent. And my kids are older, High School and College. My kids certainly are not in the house bouncing off the walls. (We are country folk..lol) Personally, for me, it’s all about family time. With school activites and kids jobs as well as our jobs and school there isn’t enough of it during the school year. And snow days aren’t outside friendly to get out and bike and hike and boat as a family. So would I rather be on the lake on June 3rd or have my kids sitting in school? I’m not one of the parents who can’t wait for their kids to go back to school. Even at 14, 17 and 20 I have the summer letdown when they go back to school in August. Oh and my daughter in high school just said if the air worked at the High school on a regular basis it might not be so bad going in June. And I completely agree with you about the inconsistency that snow days cause….especially for the younger students. I might also add that education is a top priority for us. I would just prefer they get their “learnin” in the winter as opposed to summer. All things weather….this is what the blog is for…LOL Sorry if this posts twice…moderation….gotta love it!

Rolo….I’m so sorry for your loss. Our animals become have a way of sneaking curling up into our hearts and staying there. I’m also saying a prayer for you as well. We’re all family here and you’re at the top for a lot of us. Sending love and hugs your way!!!!!
Hey PAT!!!
I agree, 100%…. prayers and hugs your way, Rolo!! 🙂
I am a teacher and asked my principal and it is not true in my county.
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/lmk/?n=top_20_weather_events
For you History Buffs about the top storms in ky.
number 15 was interesting to me.Especially the dates. 1951 Ice Storm and Cold Blast.
Thank you for sharing.
12Z GFS: Freezing rain all day Tuesday, changing to rain briefly Tuesday night, then ending as snow Wednesday as the low departs.
First of all my kids are all grown and on their own, since in the winter schools are always looking for ways to make up lost days, why not anticipate lost days from the beginning. Just add an additional 15 or 30 minutes to the school day at the first of the year then if you end up with additional days already made up let the kids out early, if not you already have X number of days made up. When I was in school we usually got out around the middle of May. But there were times we had to go 30 late and on Saturdays.
Rolo if you need anything you just yell real loud and I’ll come a running. I’m a neighbor and friend in Laurel County.
thats right, we have gotten so close so many times over the past 10 years such as 2004 in december when louisville got 8-10 inches and parts of southern Indiana got over 2 feet. Thats just 90 miles from me, and we started as snow got 3 inches and went over to rain and melted it all
Okay Folks…. The storm next week is also going to be an all rain event.
I said this weeks storm would be an all rain event, and for my area I was pretty close. Mostly rain and just a dusting on the back side.
I feel my forecast played out.
Don’t look for a big snow for a few more years.
It seems the pattern might be turning back toward more snow, however it is LOTS of small snows.
It is easy to be biased and want the snow so much that we believe it is coming.
Maybe one day, but lets get ready for the cold rain next week.
Maybe a little on the back side as well.
Probably an underachiever like last week.
Take Care
Looking at the 12z GFS seems that the weather will deal us cold rain with light wrap around snows. This is followed by a an artic shot of air that will modify enough for the next southern system to be….you guessed it a cold rain. We will have a couple clipper systems that will deal us a wind blown dusting…unless you live in northern ky where you might get an inch. I am sick of this same ol song and dance. Ready to track severe weather….bring on spring!!
No hint of threat mode and re-reading CB’s posts, it seems his expectations for the system may have diminished.
Looks like old man winter’s gonna take a break for a few days, at least in any permutation that we in Central Kentucky want to see. After that we just pick up again with our nickel-and-dime snows that melt within a few days, only to be replaced by another nickel snow that melts in a few days…that melts in a few days…that melts in a few days…oops the needle got stuck! 😉
Last time UK basketball team won a title was 98. Maybe if we could get number 8 an OLD SCHOOL may follow. Go Big Blue!!
Let’s hope it is a cold rain and nothing more. Now I am going stir crazy at home and want to get back to school. I am really concerned that my students are missing some very crucial time in the classroom. When Spring does arrive and the weather is pretty and warmer, the kids really have a difficult time focusing on what is going on in the classroom. And of course there is the “test”. Missing 15 or more days of school before February even arrives puts a great deal of strain on teachers and students. Let’s all band together and will the snow away for the remainder of this year. 🙂
Boring weather days, leave me with absolutely nothing to do.
I remember the 2004 storm. I was in Evansville and It snowed 15 inches. I had to get back to Versailles so I took the Lietchfield Western KY route because 64 from Evansville to Louisville was slammed. As soon as I got to Central KY, nothing. So the trend continues.
12Z GFS shows freezing rain all day Tuesday for the I 64 corridor.
I like your thinking….BUT not this year. If the NBA and players union cant get together, we will get knight and jones back for next year. Along with the incoming recruits we will dominate the NCAA next year.
Even though I am usually a snowflake freak, I can not wait for some shine! The prolonged presence of the old man winter is depressing me. Argh!!
If the models are showing cold/freezing rain 4-5 days out, since they are never right, Maybe it snows after all. Not. Funny thing about the history of the models is they are never wrong about cold/freezing rain.
29-cloudy in covington…
cloudy low 30’s…lexingtona area…
mesonet sites southern ky,esp southeast KY….sunny with LOW 40’S!!!!!
(anyone besides me see the track of the next storm yet??? )…
SAY IT’S NOT TRUE! THATS ALL WE NEED!
Your principal is wrong. The state mandates that teachers work 187 days and as I said it doesn’t matter if the day is a regular school day or a 10 day. A day is a day. Student time is counted in hours not days so students can bank time but teachers can’t.
Let’s hope it is a cold rain and nothing more. Now I am going stir crazy at home and want to get back to school.

That’s what it shows. Ice, going to rain briefly, then ending as snow Wednesday. It’s going to change some between now and then likely. I wouldn’t panic.
I could not agree more. In fact, it will be Sun/Mon before this models have a good idea on this storm. No need to hem and haw over each model run…just going to wear yourselves out.
Ain’t it the truth!
I’m with you BubbaG!
Considering that each model is NOT sampling this storm currently, the current runs are nothing more that pure speculation. Sit back, enjoy the weekend and tune on Sunday afternoon/eve.
OMG LOOK AT THE SNOW ICE MAP AND LOOK AT THE HUGE ARC OVER KY…… THE DOME LOOKS TO BE IN FULL FORCE. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS ACCUWEATHER.
http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/45062/groundhog-day-storm-may-affect.asp
I never found out where CHris was giving his talk tody in Versailles, Would like to have heard it.
Be that as it may, that map is likely to be what happens – rain for us – heavy snow 50 miles away – nothing new…
Amen, brother. It NEVER goes the other way – they predict snow 50/50 shot that’s what will happen – predict rain – take it to the bank, since storms always trend north/westward with time…it ain’t gonna snow here…
Keep checking in at AccuWeather.com for updates on this storm that will threaten lives and property.
Lets hope they keep there track record and miss this one too.
Oh no it looks more and more like Ice next week.Tim it is 40 here in Pikeville and I didnt see any snow this morning,Move over Bubba coming to the Dark Side lol.
Dont count on next weeks storm being rain just yet, there are two lows coming and one has major cold air we will be right on the border line CKY that is, for a major wallop of moisture along the lines of 1.25 inches, if there was ever a chance of a big snow this year this one has all the makings to make it happen, just dont count it out just yet.
Ice storms are easier to pinpoint an predict than snowstorms.This storm everyone needs to keep an eye out for.When the word ‘ICE” is mention in any forcast odds are it will happen.
Be yellow ball spotted in the sky over Woodford County. Giving off a bright light and warmth. Calling NORAD.
i live at stopover ky about a hour from pikeville we had about a inch an half of snow this morning couldent believe they had school the roads were awful
So is SE KY basically out of the snow talk for the early week storm?
Way to keep your cool rolo. Not many people could just let it slide like you did.
Last?
That map will change many of times between now and Tuesday. Lets just hope it changes to the south and not the north. COLD RAIN SUCKS…
As MJ says, no point in getting concerned ATM, but we DO know what we will probably get if between ice & snow 😉
That Accuweather map linked above is almost as funny as CB’s snow sandwich map a few weeks ago. The map clearly shows the dome over central KY and a roof made of ICE. 😉 “Funny” stuff!
NWS AFD is all about freezing rain. Probably for northern counties and southern Indiana. Hardly a mention of snow.
Likely trend warmer. stronger low cuts more into the region=more WAA. in fact I think 50’s for the south Wednesday very possibile.
I just want to say that I really enjoyed your forum during the recent winter storm. Yes, it proved to be a bust for the most part. I really enjoyed everyone’s comments. Weather can be such a sensitive issue, though. That’s why I appreciate all of the passion expressed in your words.
I recently opened my own blog and would appreciate your input. I admit that I’m not a know-it-all, just normal (which is passionate about weather) like you.

Glad my last comment was moderated.
I was trying to express how much I appreciated this site and everyone’s passion during the recent winter storm. Also, I opened up a recent blog about the weather and welcome your input. Admittedly I’m no know-it-all, just normal (which means passionate about weather) like you.

Definitely want a big snow, but I will take cold rain over ice any day.
IN THE MEAN TIME……BlizzardTim has been enjoying sunshing and a high of 45* in Barbourville today….B)
…….
next storm will most likely be rain down here…but if the artic front presses after the first storm goes by…may get snow with the following one..
Nice board the school has for you Chris, must warm your heart.
My kids have something similar on the bulletin board in our mud room. When I tuck them in every night, after prayers they remind me to print out your updates before I go to sleep so they can read them at breakfast. (yes they pray for you too 😉 )
Thanks for your hard work. You’ve inspired a big part of this up & coming generation it seems. Not an easy task these days…. 🙂
Doggone moderation.
Won’t let me type in my blog.
It’s called mikjournal and it has the ‘dot’ and then blogspot with another ‘dot’. And then com. Let’s see if that gets moderated.
Anyway, I enjoyed your passion about the last ‘major’ snow event for the area. Check out my new blog. I’m no know-it-all, just normal (which means passionate about weather) like you.
I am going to take a BLOG BREAK!!! The sun is shining all weekend and could even be in the upper 50’s here on Sunday! I am going to pretend it is spring for a few days! See you guys on Monday! 🙂
Yep and ice REALLY sucks.
I’ll probably be scorned for what I am about to say, but I get the sense winter is coming to a quick end. Blocking is beginning to relax although it could come back towards the end of February. I suspect if next week’s storm doesn’t hit us with a big snow, we may be out of luck unless we get a very late season storm as we did in 2008.
I’m basing my view on nothing but my gut, but I think the facts of this winter suggest we’re just not in the right spot. The -AO and -NAO shunted storms to the south and then bombed them off the east coast. All the while, we’ve been essentially sideswiped.
Now, the AO, NOA, and the PNA are showing signs of switching to more unfavorable readings. I’m not about to go against Chris because he has ruled the weather predicitors in this state all year. Having said that, I just think it’s too much to expect major blocking and cold will last for three full months without interuption.
I’m just offering my view, I’m looking to say anyone else is wrong.
Stay well, Rolo. You make this board interesting!! Keeping you in our prayers.
Snows? I know there was a big one in 1993 because that was the year my brother died. There was at least 6″ but I think I remember 8″ in Elliott County.
Hi, guy! I am absolutely acclaim this way of assumption and everything joined.
